We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unconnected facility location problem, randomly sample the clients, and open the ...
In this paper we propose an application of distributed model predictive control techniques to the problem of driving a group of autonomous agents towards a consensus point, i.e. a negotiated position in their state space. Agents are assumed to be governed ...
One major drawback of multipath transferring schemes, which is inspired by the usage of different paths with diverse delays, is the emergence of reordering among packets of a flow. This reordering brings some substantial problems (like larger delay and buf ...
In this paper we tackle a variation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in which each customer can be served by more than one vehicle, each serving a fraction of its demand. This problem is known as the Split Delivery VRP (SDVRP). Due to the potential sav ...
We describe particular paths in the flip-graph of regular triangulations in any dimension. It is shown that any pair of regular triangulations is connected by a path along which none of their common faces are destroyed. As a consequence, we obtain the conn ...
This paper presents a methodology for increasing the reliability of route suggestions in route guidance systems. The procedure, based on the A* path-finding algorithm and Chen's link penalty method, involves penalizing links with a high risk of being conge ...
In this exploratory paper we consider a robust approach to decisional problems subject to uncertain data in which we have an additional knowledge on the strategy (algorithm) used to react to an unforeseen event or recover from a disruption. This is a typic ...

With the latest developments in video coding technology and fast deployment of end-user broadband internet connections, real-time media applications become increasingly interesting for both private users and businesses. However, the internet remains a best ...
The success of software verification depends on the ability to find a suitable abstraction of a program automatically. We propose a method for automated abstraction refinement which overcomes some limitations of current predicate discovery schemes. In curr ...
